So… Cyan is a secretive cabal of the empowered, seeking nothing but more power, lying to the people and doing things that cause obviously detrimental effects mostly as a hypothetical “what if” scenario?

I could have sworn that was some of the fan base..

There was no hole in the fanbase. There was no backlash of any significance. Most people thought it was an awesome thing, and for many of us it’s one of the reasons we loved Uru so much.

Shorter Doc: Everyone should see Uru my way or the highway! 😉

>A Dejavu post.

I was reading this thread and decided to dust off an old chestnut of a rant I wrote last year and tweaked it slightly since it’s pretty much the same situation.

We the Uru purists should be in charge of this new Uru. But we face a problem.

It’s clear that when we’re this outnumbered by non canon people who want to make nonsense, run around in colored skin or as upside down flying bahro, we have to rule the non canon through intimidation. That’s why the single most important thing we can do as cavern purists is dominate and decide all fan ages and do all the thinking for the fans. For we know what’s good for everyone. Need MORE proof?

“Let us join together and to rule over content upon sea and sky from hard disk to hard disk”- Joe The Greeter 4002.

I’d say that about covers it. Because if we don’t dominate the non canon people, you’d better believe they will be dominating us!!! Imagine if you will, someone making a YouTube video from this idea.

“As the shards churn” – By Overlord Tomala.

One liner: What if the haxxors won and we surrendered to our “fellow” community members?

Tag line: “It’s just like MOUL! Only at our fingertips!!!”

Where: Any fan run server you want to go to

When: The near future! All hail the shard owners once again! All having the ability to do as they did in MOUL, only now them and their team of haxx0rs have source code at their fingertips. Their first project is to engineer purple laser guided loaves of French bread to defend themselves from the flying lima bean infestation.

Our heroine (the overlord, who in this story, plays an ordinary equal), has linked to Eder Kemo on one of the fan run servers, only to find that someone turned the brain trees into singing jellyfish, the puffer plants into giant turkey basters, and the pond water into lime jello. Fearing for her life she links to Ae’Gura, only to find King Kong and a T Rex knocked the Arch over in a verbal fight to see who is more right than the other.

Some shards are giving lessons in D’ni, but only one shard is giving lessons in Sheepish.

When all hope seems to be lost, Tomala teams up with the last surviving leaders from the last reign of power. And they create the meter room shard.

The end.

Computing

>The Great Computer War of 2010

Well it turns out the Hard Drive doesn’t have any problems on that laptop. Doing a reinstall over that XP install did the trick. But other weird instances happened last night while I was working on it. For starters my father’s motherboard died when I put my USB key into it to give it a new anti-virus definition. Turns out that type of mobo isn’t shielded properly if you use front USB, in fact one case was reported where plugging a USB key in caused smoke to come out of the tower! O_O

Oh, and it gets better! My laptop decided that it didn’t want to start up the anti-virus program properly! Though that was an easy fix. I just had to remove a packet program I installed a long time ago, for some reason changing the service for it under services made it go ape shit.

Yeah… I guess I should get some sleep now.

Lets see, last night I went to bed at about 6 am… Woke up at 3:11 this afternoon, got a call from work asking if I could work a shift today at 4. So I took it and came home at 8. Tore into a laptop someone gave me to work on (they wanted it wiped and reinstalled), I ran the install last night after formatting the Hard Drive, did some tweaks to it today and found out that not all of the data for windows installed properly. All sorts of shit was missing like Internut Exploder, windoze update, defrag.exe… And services won’t execute properly or remember what values I enter.I must say this is an interesting puzzle I have. I’m guessing either the hard drive is going bad, or there is a boot sector virus.

So then I decided to take a break and finish portal (again) to see the new ending that was just added today. It’s real… Interesting. I have a feeling it will either be a sequel to portal, HL2 E3, or a crossover of the two.

Gaming

>Game thread.

I played with some of the portal update tonight. Interesting stuff. Too lazy to finish it right now though.

Last night though, I was bored and decided to retexture one of my gmod players. Because you know… I hate haxxing and stuff…

In that picture the logo doesn’t display properly for some reason. I think it’s the boob. I didn’t make the logo by the way. I got it from BAD’s photobucket. It was supposed to be a shirt texture for Uru. But at least I’m putting it to some kind of use. 🙂

So there you have it, I’ve gone vocaloid.

>Dumb Children

Earlier tonight someone who friended me on steam was upset that they lost all their illegal games in a computer meltdown and wanted me to buy them a game. (this happens all the time with other people too… Kids that get left alone on the internet.) And just when I didn’t think this kid was stupid enough he gives me his phone number. At first I thought it was fake, but he seriously told me to call him. So I did what a good person would do. Yelled at him for it. He already told me that he’s 11 years old, he hardly knows me, he only met me because I happened to be in a chatroom once, not to mention that I’ve only talked to this person about 4 times, he doesn’t even know if I’m a guy or a girl, and here he is giving out his family’s home phone just so he can have someone to talk to?

During the days of dialup I was schooled in the do’s and don’ts of the internet. And the first and foremost thing you do NOT do is give out ANY personal information to people you don’t know. And why would you anyway when you have voice chat and text options? Do people NOT know about 411.com and other places that can track down information with a single phone number?

That’s the kind of kid that needs mommy or daddy watching his online time…

me you them us that this and mine

>Instinctive dreams

I had a dream this morning. It was something about being at a rock concert, I’m not really sure who the band was but I seem to recall seeing someone wear dream catcher earrings and a high ponytail. And saw good things happening to them. I woke up today and without thinking about it I did just that. And my entire work day was a good one.

I don’t think the dream meant anything significant. But after having certain dreams I like taking the advice (within reason), I once had a nightmare about a dog passing away and found out a few days later that one of my aunts dog’s had to be put down from old age. And another where a friend betrays me, and eventually she did. Again, I’m not saying it’s anything significant. But sometimes it’s better to listen to what moves from the back of your head and into your dreams.
